-"I've got a CLK270 CDI auto which I bought last November, when it was 12 months old. As for fuel economy, if I drive with a light foot, I can get 30-35 in town traffic and beyond 40 (and even up to 50) on the motorway. Put my foot down, and that does go down quite quickly to 35 on the motorway. But this is a really easy car to drive gently."
-"I have a C270 auto Avantgarde Estate. As it's my own car, but driven long distances for work, I'm anal about its fuel consumption. On long motorway journeys, with no hold ups etc, driven at 75 ish, it'll do 49MPG. It makes no noticeable difference if a/c is on or off."
-" Fuel Consumption E270 CDI
I get 31-32 mpg around town, and 45-50 mpg on a long run at 70 mph. At 75 mph I get about 45 mpg."
Minun ajoilla on kuitenkin ihan merkittävä vaikutus että kulutus maantieajossa max 6. Pitkällä matkalla 7 tai 6.5kin olisi jo masentavaa. Polttoaine hinnat ja auton kulutus vaikuttaa aika paljon talouteen kun asuu korvessa.
